Wouldn't that have been funny if we unanimously said get the SS? Wonder how he would have thought of his forum name then.

ZL1 hands down. Between the SS and ZL1 it's night and day difference, but you pay for it.

Love the way the ZL1 body looks. Is there a difference in the body of the ZL1 and the SS? For example does the ZL1 have wider fender flares etc etc.

The reason I ask is because I'm studying mechanics and I want a car I can mechanically work on and the ZL1 seems already finished to me. The SS can be modified and a ton of things done on it, the lower price is nice too. However, the other day I saw a ZL1 in the parking lot and it looked amazing !!! I was hoping that a SS had approximately the same body dimensions. I was unable to compare them side to side and hoped that you guys could help me out...

I would get one of each
Yeah , one ZL1 that's already finished , and an SS so you can finished it , just using common sense from your post above , win , win !

You can make an SS more capable than a stock ZL1 for less money. The one BIG thing the ZL1 has over the SS is its magnetic ride control. That sh!t is pretty slick…

+1 The ZL1 is great but if you want to build a car get the SS. can you afford to mod the SS out of pocket?

But you already drive a ZL1

Neither.

1LE.

Yea, yea, its an SS package, not a car in its own right.

For my tastes personally the 1LE has all the right moves and you won't have $400 a piece shocks to replace when your warranty runs out (among other things).

Now, if you are swimming in cash, knock yourself out.
